I could buy a new phone, but I am fed up with the way we do not repair anything anymore. My galaxy S7 has had a few components changed, battery, motherboard, and thanks to XDA's regularly updated roms it's alive and up to date. Thank you!

Hello,
Last weekend i dropped my phone and now there is a big crack in my screen. I want to repair my phone by Samsung. I have to pay for the reparation, but that doesn't matter. But I think there is one problem, I do not have the official firmware on my i9000. Do they care about the unofficial firmware? Or does Samsung not care, if you pay Samsung for the reparation?
Thank you,
Jelle

If they're fixing things outside of warranty like this, they won't care. They only care if they're paying to fix it through warranty and you've messed around with the hardware/software (because that would probably be the cause of the problem)

i had the same thing once, too. luckily, i had usb debug on, and could even see something by using some program which transmits the screen via usb. don't remember its name though.
anyway, so i got to wipe it. But as said, i don't think this will matter. but this way you might at least be able to do a backup.

It looks like my phone is dead. I had it checked on repair store and they tried to reprogram and sort of downgrade the OS but unfortunately they weren't able to. Same thing happened. The second repair store said that the back panel has to be opened to check the internal of the phone but I didn't agree to do that.
I'm still trying to charge it today when I got home but still the same no LED light while charging. This is very frustrating as I spent a lot money to have this phone and didn't last for 2 months. Very disappointed. I will never, ever buy from an OL shop again. The warranty is void when I upgraded the OS as per the retailer so no replacement happened. Now I don't have enough money to buy a new one. Have to save up again and will take a couple of months to buy one.
Disappointment.

Thanks for taking your time in reading this post. Disappointed right? Huge amount of money spent for this but then this is what we get. Though I'm still somehow hoping that it will still get revived. Did Sony let us down?

My mistake is I bought mine from an OL shop here in the Philippines, not from a Sony or Xperia store. I still love Sony, I still want a Z1 but to be honest right now I'm not that 100% sure if I'm gonna buy another one. Though there's no other option out there for me outside Sony aside from Apple (I guess).

Thanks for that. I will post there. Hope they could somehow help me on this.
You guys experimenting with different firmwares, and if you brick your phones you blame it on Sony ? I don´t know if is something like that there for Qualcomm chips but I liked on my Tegra devices that I could restore even a hard bricked device with Nvflash...

Looks like your boot partition has been wiped. That's where kernel is stored. Without kernel, your device won't boot, neither recognize any plugged in cable (USB to computer either Charger).
They're two ways to solve this.
Claim your warranty to change your motherboard.
Find someone who know to revive dead Xperia Z1.
Hope this help.
good luck bro

That is not true. Without a kernel you should still be able to boot into fastboot mode (bootloader) or into flashmode and be able to reflash your device.

JTAG the phone should work but it requires a pro and since it's a new phone I highly doubt that there's any one out there who can do that you might have to wait also you will lose warranty permanently since it requires them opening your phone and soldering. Or send to Sony and pay whatever price they ask for to get it fixed.

Just so you know my phone isn't rooted or anything. I didn't do anything with it aside from updating it to JB 4.3 via Sony Update Service. That's all. That's why I'm so disappointed on why this happened to me wherein I'm not doing anything in it. It's perfectly usable before this happened.

Man than I am sorry fot that, but in your case I would probably send it back to Sony repair center for a warranty repair. I don´t know how it is in your country but I think in every normal country is the manufacturer responsible for the warranty and not the seller, so you even don´t need to contact the company from where you bought your phone, just send it back to the nearest sony repair center and they will repair your device. And if its needed, then don´t say that the phone died after update, just say them that the phone died by itself from nothing...

Yeah man, that's what I will actually today. I'll go to the nearest Sony Service Centre and have it check. Yep I'd say that I haven't upgraded it yet to 4.3. Service fee would be fine since it's not from a Sony store. As long as it will be revived it's fine with me. That is actually my last hope.
Don't blame Sony for that.
First off all - Mercedes sometimes have faulty cars, of course Sony has too but blame whole system for that won't get you nowhere.
If you had flashed custom kernels or ROMs this things could happen...
For all others - if you aren't sure what are you doing don't try to unlock bootloader or root your device...
Wait for a few weeks/months and we'll have better solution...
All devs here warned you - 4.3 on Z1 is new and every ROM and kernel or root method is in test phase...
It's ridiculous to blame Sony for flashing custom stuff and brake you device...
If you haven't then there's no reason not to use your waranty rights...
No matter where did you bought your device you have to have waranty!

No flashing of files or rooting or whatever happened. Updated to 4.3 via SUS. That's all. That's why like I said I'm kinda upset as I didn't do anything other than upgrading the OS to 4.3 via SUS then this sudden death happened.

I know, I was referring to all others who had.
But what's wrong with your waranty then?
If you updated via official Sony apps and programs?

As per the man I talked to when I went into the store the warranty is voided when I updated my OS to 4.3. I can only use the service warranty if I don't do ANY modification of OS or whatever on the phone even if it's from PCC or SUS. Stupid policy.

Hello there, beginner here, my current phone note 5 motherboard was dead, (checked by phone shop). I'm learning to fix my phone by myself. But I found out there's little different between logic board model and its price.
I would like to have senior advice about the effect, will it affect the phone function to make calls if I insist to buy the cheap logic board to use back the phone?
Appreciate for any replies and helps!
Thank You!

Good evening friends!
I'm on the hunt for a new smartphone and found something interesting in eBay.
Please give me your opinion on if I should bid on this device, or not!
It's the 128GB 6GB RAM variant in quite good condition.
The seller states that
Android 10 installation couldn't be completed.
The installation process stops after a short time
Device reboots by itself

Also that
WIFI and mobile data are not available

I've read that on one hand that it's hardware/soldering issue,
and on the other hand that it might be just a software/firmware issue.
I've lots of experience in flashing all kinds of phones, including the Xiaomi Note 7 Pro (probably) of a friend.
So given I can unlock the bootloader and something can be done in software, I'm pretty sure I could do it.
Also I probably could open the device up and try to fix the mainboard.
Has anyone ever tried reflowing the mainboard?
Otherwise maybe I could replace the mainboard, if financially viable.
So please tell me if I should bid on it, and how much you reckon it might be worth!
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!
My advice is to get a working phone. Instead of one where u have to repair. A working mi 8 is not expensive nowadays
